Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book update: This week in positive psychology we are discussing meditation and part of our homework is to meditate three times this week. Husband will be in Los Angeles … we’ll see if we can find time for our homework. Meditation does look like they are doing nothing, but it isn’t and it is more …
This pot roast was amazing! I love the other pot roast recipes on here, too. This one was easier to put together since it uses a canned soup (I don’t normally have this ingredient, but it was free with a deal I bought few months back). I will have to figure out a substitute for …
After making the Mexican Beef Casserole, I was reminded of this classic that I have made over and over again since 2003 when “Quick Cooking” originally published the recipe. It was published again in “Taste of Home’s Most Requested Recipes”. I can see why! This is a pretty fast and easy dish that is great …
Recent Reads: I finished “The Boy with the Striped Pajamas” by John Boyne as part of my Young Adult reading list. It was really good and I advise everyone to read it. Please make sure you have tissues towards the end. The perspective on the holocaust is powerful and the questions that the author brings …
** I’m sorry if this is a repeat. It was supposed to be scheduled to go up a different day than the apple dumplings. Between watching the kids 24/7, my new graduate class, etc., I must have accidentally entered in the wrong date. But this recipe is really really good, so it should be okay. …
Book update: I finished “Real Education” by Charles Murray yesterday. He has 4 “simple truths” that he discusses: ability varies, half of children are below average, too many people go to college and our future depends on our brightest. Now, some of these may sound harsh, but you really need to read the full description …
Well, I made this BEFORE it hit 81 degrees here in St. Louis in the middle of November. The recipe could also be altered to throw into the slow cooker – throw it all in the pot except for the cornstarch and leave it on low all day (just add the cornstarch later). I love …
America’s Test Kitchen does it again and creates a delicious made-from-scratch meal in 30 minutes. Well, made from scratch except for the Fritos. 🙂 The kids loved this one. I think it had to do with the Fritos. If you make this ahead of time, or you know you will have leftovers – leave off …
As I mentioned before, I purchased the America’s Test Kitchen Best 30 Minute Recipe book because I found them easy, fast and tasty. The recipes really can be made in 30 minutes unlike a lot of other books that claim to be made in 30 minutes and it takes me more like an hour. I’m …
This is the result of the Lemon Glazed Chicken from my freezer session of chicken way back when. It was really moist and flavorful. And of course spraying the pan, throwing it into the oven and baking was a breeze. Chicken breasts are on sale again this week at Schnucks for $1.99! Time to stock …
